Jennifer - in Bristol Mooring lines are in place, Jennifer! The garden is just sodden and water is pouring down all the lanes as if they were streams. I should think the river Dart at Staverton Bridge must be overflowing its banks. We have great pools of water lying on the lawn, especially under the big old cedar tree and we won't be able to walk on it for ages because it just seems to hold the water like a giant sponge. The roses have given up the unequal struggle and are brown balls of wet misery. Still - someone has told us it's going to be a lovely September! Electricity was due to be off all day because they were supposed to be burying a cable and connecting it. Decided not to go into Naaardge this morning, cycled into the village and did a bit of shopping, and lined-up some unelectric activities for the day. Eclectic Elves arrived in their mobile toolbox/canteen, faffed about a bit, then one of them revisited all the houses which had been warned of the 'outage' to say that the other half of the job hadn't been done - namely, the laying of the cable, so they couldn't connect it up, and we could have power all day... Then it began raining. And it continued. And didn't stop. And it's still raining. The forecast was for a better day than yesterday. Did they mean to say a wetter day? -- Rusty Direct reply to: horrid dot squeak snailything zetnet point co period uk Separator in search of a sig |

I'd like to take a holiday somewhere where we could spend a week sailing, though. Ray's never done any and to me it's about the most relaxing way of taking a holiday. -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon |

Jennifer - in Bristol What do you mean IF :~) You've got it too? ;-( The wind hasn't been strong here today but it's getting up now and the rain is still doing what it does best - falling relentlessly out of the sky. Truly, I believe this country can only make a fortune if it cuts taxes to 10% and bribes everyone to move here.

Even when they were banning the use of hosepipes 'up country', our reservoirs were about 90% full. There's a reason Devon's so green!! ;-) -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon |
